China Road Trip Exposes List of Uninvestable Assets in the West

They knew China had raced ahead in sectors like batteries and “everything around energy,” but seeing how big the gap was firsthand left them wondering how European and North American competitors can even survive, Talia Rafaeli, a former investment banker at both Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Barclays Plc who’s now a partner at Kompas VC.Planet A Ventures, a Berlin-based VC, has decided that investments in Western startups spanning battery manufacturing and recycling, electrolysers, solar and hardware for wind are no longer viable, says Nick de la Forge, general partner and co-founder of the firm. He says before the trip he’d suspected China was way ahead; but after going there, those sectors are now “strictly off the list.”
Yair Reem, a partner at Extantia Capital, says the trip has already led his firm to halt investments in Western battery cell manufacturers. Instead, they’ll look for ways to collaborate with Chinese firms across supply chains. When it comes to battery manufacturing in the West, China’s dominance means it’s now “game over,” according to Reem.
Ashwin Shashindranath, a former Macquarie Group managing director who’s now a partner at Energy Impact Partners, says what he saw on the trip made it “very clear” that Western investors live “in a bubble” in their misconceptions about China.

China Sets First Absolute Emissions Cut Target for 2035, Falling Short of Paris Path
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/42916278
Archived[...]
China has pledged for the first time to cut its greenhouse gas emissions in absolute terms, committing to reduce economy-wide net emissions by 7–10% from peak levels by 2035, “striving to do better.” President Xi Jinping announced the target in a video address to a high-level climate summit in New York convened by UN Secretary-General António Guterres during the General Assembly.
[...]
Experts welcomed the structural shift to an absolute cut but judged the ambition insufficient for a 1.5°C pathway. “Anything less than 30% is not aligned with 1.5 degrees,” said Lauri Myllyvirta of the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA). Greenpeace East Asia’s Yao Zhe said the plan “still falls short,” even for tempered expectations. Belinda Schäpe, a China policy analyst at CREA, framed the pledge as politically cautious and argued China’s clean-energy boom could still deliver reductions of 30% or more by 2035 if current trends hold. In her words, today’s announcement should be viewed as the floor, not the ceiling.

Apple calls for changes to anti-monopoly laws and says it may stop shipping to the EU
Apple has called for the European Commission to repeal a swathe of technology legislation, warning that unless it is amended the company could stop shipping some products and services to the 27-country bloc.
The Silicon Valley company hit out in a submission to the commission’s review of the three-year-old anti-monopoly legislation, which is intended to regulate the gatekeeper power of the largest digital companies including search engines, app providers and messaging services.
It said it had already delayed the launch of features such as live translation through AirPods and mirroring iPhone screens on to laptop because of the act’s demands for interoperability with non-Apple products and services.
“The DMA means the list of delayed features in the EU will probably get longer, and our EU users’ experience on Apple products will fall further behind,” it said. Apple added that Brussels was creating unfair competition as the rules were not applied to Samsung, the largest smartphone provider in the EU.

"Name in use" error when trying to make a 3dprinting comm

There is a solution but it is not straightforward and involves changes to the way PieFed federates. It's high on the agenda, though.
Australian Under 16 media ban is censorship by stealth and data harvesting by law
The comments around the under 16 media ban seem to be missing a salient point.
In order to determine if a user is under 16, you need to determine that for every single user .. including you!
This means that your personal data will be harvested in order to determine if you are over 16 or not.
Ummm, they already harvest your personal data to that extent. I guess some of the really paranoid might be caught in the wider net but honestly if you're that paranoid then you're probably not using social media directly anyway. The media too is bringing up this point in that it's a privacy concern but the internet is far less private than 99% of people think anyway, it's a data security concern but not a privacy concern.
Now, the recent age-checking for porn introduced by the e-Karen without any parliamentary or even media debate, that's something to be concerned about.

How could I order a package without my parents finding it?
Hey!
There's some things I am planning on ordering, and I'd like to get them delivered without my parents knowing.
The things in question are some 23w CFL bulbs, e27 sockets, PC fans and a power strip.
I was originally planning on just buying them in person, but literally no shops near me have them.
I can't actually find them anywhere but the american version of amazon -- my country's (Ireland) version of amazon doesn't have them.
I asked a few friends if I could send the things to their house, and get it through them, but all of them said no.

In his stirring final speech to a United Nations General Assembly, Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Tuesday called for an international armed intervention to end Israel’s nearly two-year genocide in Gaza.“We need a powerful army of the countries that do not accept genocide,” Petro, who is in his last year in office and is limited under Colombian law to a single presidential term, told world leaders gathered in New York. “That is why I invite nations of the world and their peoples more than anything, as an integral part of humanity, to bring together weapons and armies.”
“We must liberate Palestine,” he asserted. “I invite the armies of Asia, the great Slavic people who defeated Hitler with great heroism, and the Latin American armies of Bolívar.”
“We’ve had enough words; it’s time for Bolívar’s sword of liberty or death,” Petro argued, referring to the 19th century Latin American independence hero Simón Bolívar.

They quite literally have, the people in the bottom photo smiling with Xi are Uyghur, you can tell by the doppa hats and architecture. I recommend looking more into the situation in Xinjiang. The best and most comprehensive resource I have seen so far is Qiao Collective's Xinjiang: A Resource and Report Compilation. Qiao Collective is explicitly pro-PRC, but this is an extremely comprehensive write-up of the entire background of the events, the timeline of reports, and real and fake claims.
I also recommend reading the UN report and China's response to it. These are the most relevant accusations and responses without delving into straight up fantasy like Adrian Zenz, professional propagandist for the Victims of Communism Foundation, does.
Tourists also go to Xinjiang all the time. You can watch videos like this one on YouTube, though it obviously isn't going to be a comprehensive view of a complex situation like this.

Well, yes, actually, it is CPC. The standard formatting of communist parties is "Communist Party of X." This is the international standard, the CPC goes by CPC and not by CCP as CCP is more nationalist than internationalist.
And no, I'm not a CPC member, as cool as that would be to be one of those 100 million members, though I do organize (lightly so far) with a communist party in my country.

“Sell your furniture,” Youssef advises Palestinian journalist Ahmed Dremly, as he packs his belongings to flee Gaza City.“The bed in your room, the wardrobe, the bookcase - sell them all,” he insists.
Dremly, one of Middle East Eye’s main contributors in Gaza City throughout the Israeli genocide, responds bitterly: “Who would buy them?”
Youssef, his friend, replies: “Sell them as firewood.”
“So I should smash the bed my mother used to sleep on - my room, my memories - and sell it all as firewood?” Dremly asks again.
“Better that than having it buried under the rubble,” Youssef says, his voice trailing off as he disappears into the distance.
It’s a conversation straight out of a dystopian, apocalyptic novel - but one that most of Gaza City’s one million residents have been forced to have in recent days.

Judge finds misconduct by Trump's DOJ in Luigi Mangione case
Donald Trump's Justice Department is under fire by a federal judge after uncovering "multiple employees ... may have violated" local rules guaranteeing a right to a fair trial for so-called "healthcare shooter" Luigi Mangione.
U.S. District Court Judge Margaret Garnett wrote on Wednesday that Mangione documented several incidents in which members of the Southern District of New York made public statements that are in violation of Criminal Rule 23.1.
The judge shredded the DOJ, saying that she issued an order on "April 25, 2025, specifically identifying the strictures of this rule for counsel and directing the prosecution team to ensure that the highest levels of the Department of Justice, up to and including Attorney General Bondi, were aware of and understood they were bound by this Rule."

'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds
"High-altitude winds between 1,640 and 3,281 feet (500 and 10,000 meters) above the ground are stronger and steadier than surface winds. These winds are abundant, widely available, and carbon-free.
"The physics of wind power makes this resource extremely valuable. “When wind speed doubles, the energy it carries increases eightfold, triple the speed, and you have 27 times the energy,” explained Gong Zeqi "

Helium-3 mining on Moon: A new frontier for science and geopolitics
Going to be some very expensive gas.
"Apollo samples typically showed helium-3 concentrations measured in parts per billion. That means enormous volumes of regolith must be processed to extract useful gas. The basic industrial recipe is straightforward on paper. "

Stephen Miller’s Hypocrisy Is Right There in His Speech
cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/46700344
Link without paywall:
aol.com/news/stephen-miller-hy…Yesterday, Stephen Miller delivered a eulogy for Charlie Kirk that served as a battle cry for the Trump administration’s state-sponsored war on his perceived foes—a war for which Miller is the primary strategist. The speech was a jarring piece of rhetoric. It is a perfect encapsulation of the ethos of Trumpism, boiling away the president’s idiosyncratic habits of mixing insult comedy and weird digressions into his rhetoric and leaving, in Miller’s tongue, the residue of pure ideology and will to power.
Miller’s theme was that President Donald Trump’s side embodies pure good, his opponents pure evil, and the former is destined to utterly destroy the latter. Republicans have never stopped complaining that Hillary Clinton once described a portion of Trump’s base as “a basket of deplorables.” Yet over the weekend the president’s most powerful adviser depicted half the country as worthless, irredeemably wicked, and fated for destruction.

Sharing File
How are you sharing files between two party, with which system, app, site, etc.
I want to share some PDF with a friend but I’m becoming really tired of the old Google Drive. So any option is appreciated.
Also I’m finding myself always in the need to share a PDF or a file with an anonymous lemmy user if your option could work in this situation that will be great

Personally I'm quite big fan of self-hosting, but if you want less a hassle, def try some of the other suggestions.
Since you're interested in anon file sharing, I'd really recommend you take some time to really think out just what your personal definition of anonymous is, and how well it fits in modern digital infrastructure. True anonymous activity is nearly impossible, you can be fingerprinted by even writing a file to a drive to hand to someone. Every action taken online has some trace to it, while IP is generally not precise information, with enough data overlap you can be reasonably guessed depending on how much effort someone is willing to put into it.
So you know, good luck finding a balance lol.
